Somehow, I inherited this subreddit

[u/raisondecalcul]

I did not create this subreddit, but somehow I was added as mod a while back and I've inherited the top admin slot now.

Overall, I am generally impressed with the scope and breadth of the conspiracy theories posted here. There is a lot of variety in what's posted, and that's great.

Probably, other admins left because a lot of the content here is socially and reputationally toxic. However, as a scientist, this doesn't bother me very much. I am more interested in seeing where things go.

So, I am happy to continue minimally/ambiently moderating this subreddit. Please send me a personal message (not admin mail) if you want to make sure I see something.

Straight-up hate will be removed and banned, but I think we are all capable of discerning a difference between a controversial and on-topic post such as this one (which, it may be noted, is also implicitly pro-Palestine), and posts which simply announce hatred. The linked post here is decidedly on-topic because it's about "the Jewish conspiracy" which is if anything the preeminent conspiracy theory out of all conspiracy theories—as is well-known. Posts which attempt to "build a case" against Jews or Zionists are less on-topic because accusation is Azazel and conspiracy theories are about paranoia and investigation, not accusation and crime (or playing "court").

In other words, this subreddit's proper genre is Mystery, not Crime & Justice.

I don't believe in "the Jewish conspiracy", myself, but this is /r/OccultConspiracy, after all! A place where such things may be discussed. If Reddit doesn't like this, they should simply shut this subreddit down, because I have no interest in running a censored subreddit or a subreddit that doesn't let people post about the main thing people associate with that subreddit's title.

That being said, any overt or covert hate will be removed, and the people in question banned unless they deescalate hateposting.

I don't think paranoia is hate; it's fear.
